A New Non-archimedean Metric on Persistent Homology

The article introduces a new non‑archimedean metric, the cophenetic metric, defined on persistent homology classes of all degrees. It demonstrates that zeroth persistent homology combined with this metric and various hierarchical clustering algorithms yields statistically verifiable, commensurate topological information on multiple datasets. The resulting clusters, evaluated by silhouette score and Rand index, perform well, and the metric enables visualization of inter‑relations among persistent homology classes across all degrees via rooted trees.
